Pour the cream into a saucepan. Pick the rosemary needles and thyme leaves and add them to the cream. Heat the cream. Add the butter to the cream and melt. Bring the cream to a boil briefly and remove from the heat. Peel and wash the sweet potatoes and slice or grate them into thin slices (approx. 2 mm thick). Layer the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and add the cream and cheese. Then add another layer of sweet potatoes, a layer of cream, and a layer of cheese to the baking dish. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up. Finish with cheese. Bake the gratin in the oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat, fan: 160°C) for about 1/2 hour. When the cheese turns brown, the gratin is ready.
